Scope of Journal Biomedical Research (Tokyo) publishes original research articles and reviews from a wide range of medical sciences, mainly in the fields of experimental and basic medicine. A submission of merely statistic or clinical studies is unsuitable. The purpose of Biomedical Research is to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion of topics in different research fields of medical sciences, toward understanding the discipline of how cells, tissues and organisms are structured and function in both physiological and pathological contexts. The Biomedical Research will be published on a bi-monthly basis.

Submission of Manuscripts
Submission of a paper to Biomedical Research involves the tacit assurance that no similar paper, other than a preliminary report, has been or will be submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers that do not conform to the general criteria for publication in Biomedical Research will be returned to authors without reviewing, to avoid unnecessary delay in submission elsewhere.
In our journal, on-line submission is available. First, please log in to ScholarOne Manuscripts at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bmr and edit your user information accordingly. You can also check the status of your manuscript any time at the Author Center after logging into this URL.
Types of Manuscripts
Full papers are expected to encompass complete findings of original research.
Communications are short articles of special interest and importance that are qualified for a rapid publication. The length should not exceed 4 pages on published issues. Preliminary but worth reporting observations can be considered as a communication.
Review articles, usually not exceeding 30 pages on published issues, should provide concise and critical discussions of current developments in experimental and medical sciences. Before preparing a review article, prospective authors should consult an editor.
